The Student Association is providing 1,500 students with the opportunity to tour the White House on Sept. 6.

The 30-minute walk-through tours of the East Wing will be from 7:30 to 11 a.m. Spots will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

SA President John Richardson and Executive Vice President Ted Costigan promoted the event during the student organization fair Tuesday night. Richardson said about 250 students signed up by 12 p.m. Wednesday.

Richardson said he learned of the opportunity through Ronnie Cho, the associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Richardson was in contact with Cho this summer as part of the debt deal campaign launched by university student body presidents across the country. Their campaign, “Do We Have a Deal Yet?” garnered the interest of the Office of Public Engagement, which invited the coalition to participate in several conference calls about college-specific student issues.

“We had an opportunity to invite students from local high schools and universities to tour the White House and we’re glad that many of them will participate,” White House spokesman Shin Inouye said.

Students can sign up at the Student Association office in Marvin Center room 424 between 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. or by e-mailing [email protected] with their personal information in this order: last name, first name, middle initial, date of birth, Social Security number, citizen (yes or no), country, gender, address as it appears on ID, e-mail address, and time slot (7:30, 8, 8:30, 9, 9:30, 10, 10:30, 11 a.m.)

The deadline to register is tonight at 6:30 p.m.
